CNN) -- Democratic Sen. John Kerry phoned President Bush on Wednesday to concede the presidential election, a White House aide said.

Word of Kerry's phone call came a few hours after White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card announced that the Bush campaign was convinced the president had won re-election.

"President Bush decided to give Sen. Kerry the respect of more time to reflect on the results of this election," Card told GOP supporters at the Reagan Federal Building and International Trade Center in Washington. "The president will be making a statement later today."

Card said, "We are convinced that President Bush has won re-election with at least 286 electoral votes." (Transcript of Card's comments)

More seriously, though, at least Mr. Kerry had the grace and decency to do so, and not embarrass the nation like the "inventor of the Internet" did.

I agree 30mm.

Conceding was the single most(and maybe only) decent thing i've ever seen Kerry do.

For that at least, Kudos to you Mr. Kerry.
